Helmet is mandatory

Pack water and small snacks
Bring at least 1–1.5 L of water in warm months and electrolyte snacks for energy on climbs.
Choose morning departures
Start early to avoid heat, stronger afternoon winds and to get clearer sea visibility for the boat leg.
Footwear matters
Wear shoes with good tread—trail or flat pedal shoes—since some singletrack is rocky and loose.

Hydration pack or 1–1.5 L water bottle
